Fantastic value!

Context – I'm old, moody, stingy and don't take selfies. This is a fantastic phone at a fantastic price. After unpacking I was amazed at how nice it looks. That seems high end. The additions in the box were also a pleasant surprise. Now I always buy cheap so maybe it's more standard than I know. First, the headphones are 3.5mm. Hey you have a jack you can Then I noticed that it came in a cheap transparent case. Hooray! Free! I don't need to buy a suitcase. Then I noticed that it comes with a protective film! Hi! You don't have to buy any of them! Too simple. Only $200 for phone, case, screen protector and headphones. Setting up and transferring apps/information was very easy. The phone is fast, responsive and I love the special feel of this phone's haptic feedback. I switched to T-Mobile (US customer) and was concerned that this phone does not support all of T-Mobile's 4G bands. T-Mobile 4G works on bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 66, 71. This phone does not support bands 66 and 71. 4 out of 6 is enough. I'm in town and I've never been without 4G LTE coverage. I also took a drive down the east coast this weekend and those missing lanes didn't seem to be a problem at all. When it comes to the phone's features, you just can't beat it at this price point. I wanted a phone with lots of storage (128GB check it out), fast performance (good chip and 4GB RAM check it out) and decent battery life (4000mAh battery when most phones in this price range are 3000 mAh have, so check it out). So far it works great. No problems, no crashes, no slowdowns. The biggest downside to this phone is the lack of NFC, but I don't care. I don't care for a useless three-camera setup either, and I don't believe in the marketing gimmick that three cameras can form a 96-megapixel Voltron-style camera. Next time add Blu, a camera (or at most two cameras if you can't resist) and NFC. I also wish it was waterproof but I mean it's $200. I'd be happy if he prints money and gives me a back rub, but for the price I'm fine. After all, this is a smartphone and it does what a smartphone is supposed to do without any problems. And I couldn't say that about any other phone I've had. You won't find a better phone for this price. You probably won't find a better phone for twice the price.
